Major Setback for Sharad Pawar Faction: Ajit Gawhane and 37 Former Corporators Rejoin Ajit Pawar’s NCP
Bhosari, Pune – In a significant political development, the Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction has suffered a major blow as senior leader from Bhosari Assembly constituency, Ajit Gawhane, along with 37 former corporators and key office-bearers, has returned to Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party.
Ajit Gawhane had previously joined Sharad Pawar’s NCP along with his group of corporators during the Assembly elections. However, with the upcoming municipal elections around the corner, he has now rejoined Ajit Pawar’s camp in a strategic political move.
The mass rejoining event took place at Ankushrao Landge Natyagruha in Bhosari in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. This shift is expected to strengthen Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction considerably in Bhosari and set the stage for a direct contest between BJP and NCP in the upcoming Pune Municipal Corporation elections.
List of Prominent Leaders Who Rejoined:
Ajit Gawhane, Rahul Bhosale, Vaishali Ghodke, Sameer Masulkar, Geeta Mancherkar, Sanjay Vabale, Vikrant Lande, Pankaj Bhalekar, Sangeeta Tamhanhe, Ravindra Appa Sonawane, Yash Sane, Vinaya Tapkir, Anuradha Gophane, Sanjay Newale, Pravin Bhalekar, Vasant Borate, Bhimatai Phuge, Sarika Landge, Santosh Landge, Vishwanath Lande, Tanaji Khade, Shashikiran Gawli, Shubhangi Borade, Vaishali Ubale, Swati Sane, Vikas Sane, Manda Alhat, Ghanshyam Khedkar, Chandrakant Valke, Jalandar Shinde, Vinayak Ransubhe, Dhananjay Bhalekar, Eshwar Thombre, Nivrutti Shinde, and Nandu Shinde.
This large-scale switch is seen as a major boost for Ajit Pawar’s faction as it prepares for a high-stakes civic election battle in Pune.
